Feature Request: Thumbnail viewing

[Ed Watkins]

It's been a very long time since this was first suggested for the RED.

It seems bizarre that I have to scroll through hundreds of clips sequentially on my RED to playback an earlier scene, especially when the camera has a joystick!!

Is thumbnail viewing for playback ever going to be a feature of the RED?

 

[Harry Clark]

I second the motion.
At least put it in the DSMC's.
Cheers,
Harry

Even just a file list we could navigate and selelct from would suffice. Perhaps first step could be a simple click combination that would jump back or forward 5 clips.

I really like the thumbnails on my HVX200 - they've allowed me to quickly find and playback clips and even do on set dialog replacement, so if it's possible, I would love to have this on RED.

The playback system is a bit dodgy, I would love to be able to get a preview thumbnail option.

Playback has always been a little dodgy. But then again try playing back on a Arri, or panavision, or even most tape based cameras. It's one step up from that. I'd rather Red focus attention on some other details, and give me an excuse to keep hiring a VTR guy than let some other bugs bo by the wayside.

It would be nice.

if your reloading the camera oftern, as you should, then you shouldent have much more then 20-30 clips to get through, most of the time, you just want to look at the last one. and to be honest i would want to discurrage playing back on the camera, and have a proper playback system, outhwise you cant be moving on to the next setup while make up or costume are checking everything is ok, slowing things down. I think however for the scarlet market this would be a good feature. as it is a much more flexable camera in what it dose, and the difrent uses it has.
